Carnevale di Venezia 2013

The streets of Venice ("calli") flooded with color, music and masks: what better time to be in Venice if not the Carnival? Every streets and every corner, even the most hidden of the city, is full of fun and public parades with mysterious and magical masks: no one can remain indifferent to the Carnival, from a Venetian accustomed to this fascinating show, to a tourist admiring the blaze of festivities for the first time.

Venetian masks are known throughout the world and make sure that everyone can become something else: a nineteenth century lady or a clown, a princess or a scary monster!

During the Carnival you can enjoy delicious delicacies such as “chiacchiere” or “galani” (sweet fried and then sprinkled with powdered sugar that have a particular crumbly texture) and “frittelle” (also fried and enriched with cream and raisins): these preparations that can be tasted in any Venetian pastry, are available only during the Carnival and this only serves to make them even more appetizing!
